No obligation for my friends to feel compelled to pay for a dinner that is too pricey or to buy me gifts. So it works out better.
Now I feel guilty.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

The Parisian. It's chocolatey without being overwhelming and the chocolate whipped cream ROCKS.

Why do you feel guilty, Lee?

That's very thoughtful of you.
I... was not so much. But there's only a small group of us now who deal with each other's b-days. And we're all fairly lazy, so it's pretty much cards and dinner. With the odd, random gift if it happened to plant itself in front of someone who had to buy it for someone else because it was just too perfect not to. They tend to be silly.
However, we're not as good about cake. We should be better.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, yeah, the rosemary chicken thing... I guess I was skimming.
For dinner I had taquitos. That I went to get in these [link] . Thanks to taco shop drive-through windows...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think for birthday, there should be cake(s). The rest is negotiable.
